CRAIG ALLEN
Dr. Allen’s research focuses upon the interactions among species and landscapes. This includes:
- The interaction among non-indigenous species, declining species and landscape change,
- Spatial patterns of species diversity and differences between the patterns observed in different taxa,
- The spatial context of negative interactions between invasive and native species, and
- Cross-scale structure in animal communities.

JOSEPH (TJ) FONTAINE
Dr. Fontaine’s research focuses on examining ecological and
evolutionary sources of variation in life history expression. This
includes:
- Examining the conditions and cues that influence habitat decisions
and the role of habitat decisions in the evolution and continuing
stability of natural systems,
- Exploring how reproductive strategies vary both within and among
species, and the causal relationships between sources of selection and
the expression of reproductive traits,
- Examining the underlying physiological mechanisms mediating trait expression, and
- Examining how human induced changes to natural systems alter
selective pressures acting on individuals and lead to changes in
populations and communities.

KEVIN POPE
Dr. Pope's research focuses on ecology of freshwater fishes. This includes:
-
Assessments of fish
populations as a baseline for understanding aquatic
communities and ecosystems,
-
Biotic and
abiotic factors that affect recruitment and growth of
fishes, and how these processes structure fish populations,
and
-
The
selectivity of recreational angling and its influence on
fish populations.
